It seems to me that the entire Highland discography reads like a learning process for the folks involved – the earliest releases are rough, not speed-corrected or incomplete (etc.), but the quality gradually improves over the course of the discography. Earlier attempts at remastering tended to vary a bit, and even when they improved, you’re right there is a tendency for recordings to be a bit bright or occasionaly shrill, however, being that “Nice Live Pair” is derived from great sources & towards the end of the label, you’re right, it’s a great set (or its individual parts). Worth having for sure, especially if someone doesn’t have these shows in any form – otherwise, the individual parts would suffice. That being said, I’ll always prefer the mastering techniques of Sirene/Sigma for Floyd!

The last 3 days I’ve been on a Floyd kick and listening to mostly Highland releases. I would estimate that I’ve listened to 15 or more and out of this stack the one above is one of my favorites. Personally I don’t like Highlands remastering techniques on the majority of the titles that I have. The treble is too bright.
